Safety Practices to
Avoid Personal Injury
When properly cared for, your new Thermador Professional
®
Range has been
designed to be a safe, reliable appliance. However, use extreme care when using
this restaurant caliber range as this type of appliance provides intense heat. When
using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions must be followed, including the
following:
Read this Care and Use Manual carefully before using your new range to reduce the
risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons.
Insure proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation instructions provided
with this product. Have the range installed and electrically grounded by a qualified
technician.
Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut-off valve is located so that
you know how and where to turn off the gas to the range.
Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for
easy reference.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended
in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in
use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance. If
children are allowed to use the appliance, they must be closely supervised.
CAUTION
Do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of the
range. If children should climb onto the appliance to reach these items,
they could be seriously injured.
When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the legal responsi-
bility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe prac-
tices by qualified persons.
Never use any part of the range or oven for storage. Flammable materials can catch
fire and plastic items may melt or ignite.
Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance or place anything against the
oven. Some fabrics are quite flammable and may catch on fire.
If the range is near a window, be certain the curtains do not blow over or near the
range burners; they could catch on fire.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily
accessible near the appliance. DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES.
Turn appliance off and smother fire with baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-
type extinguisher.
Never let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials come in contact
with or too close to any infrared burner, top burner or burner grate until it has
cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
Use only dry potholders: moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause
burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do
not let potholders touch hot elements, hot burners, or burner grates.
